The Machine Stops

I don't know how I got here. I don't know where you are, only that my voice carries as far as the static. I don't want to scare you, either. But this world is a terrifying place. As paralytic as it may be to stay locked inside your head alone, it will be what gets you through in the end.

The silence killed all my friends, so best not let it get to you. Grab your headphones. Tie the wires tight, and get ready for the sound to save you.
